mar SENSATIONAL STORY.
The Report of the schooner Sunk by
Nrniser not Confirmed.

cruiser not GOnttrmed.
HALIFAX, Aug. l5.--It has been learned
positively that the reports of a gun were
heard off Buctouche harbor some days
ago. Between and in the morning,
the story goes that man came to the viii
lage from the shore and reported that an
unknown Dominion fishery cruiser had
dismantled and sunk an American fish
erman, the vessel going down with every
soul on board. The whole story is discred-
ited 1t Is also rumored there was an
other United States fisherman in the
vicinity at the time and after the one
sank the cruiser gave chase to the other.
Commander Scott said this afternoon
1t might be very easy for SIX pound
shot from cruiser to sink 4
schooner but IL such an event did happen
the fishery department would receive par
ticulars at once. There were few fish in
the water off Buctouche, but not sufficient
TO take Americans into those waters the
Buctouche district s covered by the cruis-
ers Advance AMI L'houlette, but they are
not known to have been in the vicinity
for several weeks.
Consul General Phelan is also impressed
with the belief that there is no foundation
for the sensational report.

Preparing to Resist Eviction-Chol-
era Ravages.

LONDON Aug. 15.-The result Of the
Norwich election is a crushing blow to the
conservatives and dissidents, who were
confident they would retain the seat. At
their clubs the news was received with
CONSERVATION. The home rule clubs and
centres are correspondingly elated.
A week ago the conservative Standard
said the issue would be trial of strength
under peculiarly significant circumstances
and pointed out that though Drummer was
large local employer, his opponent was
a member of an old Cheshire family that
had been seated in the county for cen
turtles and had special claims for the sup
port Of every unionist.

Uniform Progress.

From the Epoch.
1t may interest tho curious i'll such
matters to note how closely the in
crease in the assessed valuation OF
New York real estate follows the IN
crease in population. In 1870 there
were $Sl2, 100000 OF taxable real
estate to $4,000 persons, or barely
$7Ss per head. I'm 1850 there were
S942, 100000 OF taxable real estate
to ,2oo, 900 persons, Or about S7s1
per head, while ut present there is
81, 100000 OF taxable real estate
to an estimated population OF 1000,
600, showing also a proportion OF
1871 per head. Keeping in view the
speculative and inflated scale OF yalu-
alton applied to much New York city
property in 1870, and the subsequent
return to the coin basis OF currency,
the reduced proportion between popu-
lation and valuation in recent years
is not surprising. Taking everything
into account, the substantial uniform
ity Of the proportion between the
two elements OF the visible greatness
of the city is very instructive.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
General Agricultural Matters.

In spite OF the waste of corn fodder,
the American Cultivator thinks that
growing corn and making pork from it
comes nearer to making hog keeping
profitable than any other plan. 1t is
the method by which nine tenths OF
the pork crop is now made, and but
for hog cholera, would be about as
sale n branch OF farming as anyone
could undertake. On most small
farms, pork is by-product, made
from what would otherwise be wasted,
able.
1.-The Drovers' Journal has this
suggestive paragraph about the
branch OF the "contagion" which took
its root In q bull near Fox River, H.;
"rhis animal was constantly kept
tied up in a stable with u tull-sizcd
opening in the side close by u huge pile
OF manure and disgusting filth, the
stencil and fumes from which he had
to breathe day and night for weeks and
months, and the bull died just the
same MS n mudturtle, an alligator, or
a rhinoceros would have died under
like conditions, and number of 9th
CT animals in the same herd died from
the same cause"
Mr.. Alexander Gardiner cultivates
600 acres near Greenlawn, H. |. A
collection of agricultural books and
periodicals forms part OF his equip
ments, and in the sitting-room hangs
u framed map OF the eestate tscnle 200
ieet to the lnch), outlining every field,
building lane, etc. His annual prod
ucts OF pickels, from cucumbers plant
ed the last week in June, nets, accord
ing TO "'rhe O. c. Farmer" supwarl
OF $4,000 from less thanforty acres. "
He uses each year about forty car
loads OF manure-p -presumable from
the city-at the cost of say 50, 900,
but pays out little for commercial
fertilizers. He keeps $50 sheep,
There are several reasons for butter
becoming strong, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Among them are; Using
pals and pans that are not thorough
ly cleaned from stale milk; setting the
stale milk in badly ventilated cellars
or milk houses; keeping the milk too
long, until it gets very sour; keeping
the cream too long; churnng too
slowly, or in an uncean churn; not
taking all the buttermilk out OF the
butter; keeping the butter in Ii warm,
badly aired or moldy place; these all
| cause the butter to become strong,
which Is the effect of decomposition
in it. The food or water OF the COW
will also cause this trouble.

Caution In Feeding Horses.

An extra heavy feed after pro-
tracted last, so far from remedying
the waste OF strength, only aggravntes
the evil by overlooking the stomach
and thus interfering with digestion. A
careful owner OF horses will study the
constitution OF each animal In his ser.
vice and regulate its food accordingly.
Horses which scour after watering
should only be given small quantity
OF good water, but at more frequent
intervals. Should this treatment not
succeed, q small portion OF wheaten
meal may be mixed with the water.
Very often securing is the result OF an
irritable stute OF the bowels, caused
by Indigestion. In this case, ii the
horse be otherwise in good health, a
mild purgative may be given, to be
followed by q dose OF oil.-The Farm

Sensible Father.

The Chicago Mail quotes a sensible
father rs saying: "No, sir; when my
daughter is married there shall be no
big wedding If my counsel is of any
weight" said prominent and
wealthy business man % few days ago.
"My daughters future happiness is
dearer to me than my life, and for
wedding. Why did you ask? Sim
ply because big wedding means u
dray load OF presents for her, and con-
sequently burden of obligations
that will last her n lifetime. Only "
little while ago q young lady was mar
ried in this city and at the ceremony
was the recipient OF 225 wedding gifts.
Think OF it, 225 obligations to begin
Housekeeping on Each one OF those 225
presents means an Obligation which
willlastnot only during this generation
but the next and the next. Each Civ
er will either marry or have daugh-
ter or Il son or q granddaughter or u
niece or n nephew marry, and this
bride, with her 225 presents, will hear
OF the wedding. and TO bo fair, will
have to send present in return.
Some OF these prcsents, mayhaps,
come from a big family Of girls, one
present from the family. AS each girl
Is married OIL she will expect some,
thing for the investment she collect
lively made at this 255 wedding, and
will be disappointed If she does not
get it. No, sir; l can make my daugh-
ter all the presents she wants, and

Fruit Versus PfSsa

Why should the American farmer
live all the year on salt pork and fried
potatoes? One OF the earliest recol-
lections OF my life is the longing had
to get into u city once in while, so
that could get all the Strawberries |
could eat. The average boy lives Il
great deal in his stomach. He has n
hearty, unquestion appetite, and in
the spring and summer ne eats with
out hesitation anything that Is green.
1t is an instinct OF his nature, he
needs the fruits for its juices, and the
right way to keep him from green
stuff is to give him plenty OF
good, ripe fruit. In my boyhood
on the farm, rs above intimated, /
thought Strawberries, raspberries,
grapes and peaches with creamy were
for city people; while an occasional
mess Of stewed currants, few black
berries gathered after haying and har-
vest were over (no time before) and n
small basket OF apples dubbed off the
trees and contended for with the pigs
that stood waiting nnd watching
with blue milk were for farmers.
Who can blame the boy, with q nat
ural, healthy appetite, il hegets tired
munching this old stuif-porls, pickles,
biscuit and potatoes and rebels
against the farm?-Cor. Ohio Farmer.
